"Show me the gift I gave to you earlier." Raeleigh calmed down and asked. She knew she had to remain calm in that situation or else she was going to have a hard time here in school in the future. The most important thing for her was to get back her scholarship application form. If she didn't manage to get it back, then she would actually have to leave this place by then.
Raeleigh raised her eyebrows. She wanted to get the love letter and underwear back from Jepherson.
Jepherson suddenly laughed. He leaned down to her ear and said, "You want it back? Sure thing, but you'll have to give me a kiss first. I promise to return it back to you."
"You...!" Raeleigh was about to swear but she stopped herself. She stared at Jepherson and cried, "What do you want from me?"
"What do you think?" Jepherson asked with a charming smile. "Be my girlfriend."
Everyone around was stunned by his words, except for Raeleigh.
Her gaze was dull. She was used to seeing wealthy guys play with girls by sweet talking them. She knew it was all meaningless flirting and she would never believe them.
Raeleigh remained calm, as she figured it was not time for her to act impulsively.
"You want to pursue me?" Raeleigh thought about it and asked Jepherson intentionally.
"Yes," Jepherson answered in a straightforward manner as he looked into her eyes. She was surprised by his words but she did not give up.
"I don't believe it."
"What can I do to make you believe me?" Jepherson laughed as he took a step near her and looked down into her eyes from above.
Raeleigh had a pair of attractive eyes. They looked clear and lively.
Jepherson squirmed his lips and said, "There's nothing that I, Jepherson Richards, can't do here. I can give you anything you want."
"I don't need it. I just want to complete my task quickly. Let me go." Raeleigh didn't want to argue with him because she didn't have the same background as him and she couldn't afford to play the game.
She was giving in because she wanted to get back her scholarship application form. If she went to look for Quirina and the others right then, then she might still be able to make it.
But if he didn't let her go, then she couldn't go anywhere, could she?
Jepherson lowered his clear gaze and focused it on her delicate hands. "They look beautiful!"
Raeleigh looked towards where Jepherson was focused on, it was nothing but their hands that were holding onto each other. Did he mean her hands?
Raeleigh raised her head and looked at him. It was the first time she had ever heard such a pick up line.
She had asked him to let her go but he ended up changing the subject to something completely unrelated. She was left speechless.
Raeleigh's expression turned cold and Jepherson didn't react to it. He turned around and looked at Deanna, Whalen family's second heiress. She looked like she was about to cry.
"Jepherson." Deanna could barely say his name as she felt a lump in her throat. If it weren't for her manners, which was never to embarrass herself by crying in public, then she would have broken down long ago.
